Ayers

04/02/2013

If your lifestyle isn't one of a certain level of snootiness, you may be familiar with the game, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." In this game, one thinks of an actor and then tries, in six or fewer steps to link him or her to Kevein Bacon. Take Gene Hackman for example:

Gene Hackman starred in "Hoosiers" with Dennis Hopper.

Dennis Hopper appeared in "Easy Rider" along with Jack Nicholson.

Jack Nicholson played the heroic figure (but not by the libtard Hollywood standards) in "Few Good Men," with Kevin Bacon.

The same sort of game could be played with Bill Ayers taking the role of Kevin Bacon and Illinois Republicans such as husband of Emily's List donor and aspiring gubernatorial candidate, Bruce Rauner taking the place of the chosen actor. Given that Bill Ayers is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who the oh-so progressive "intellectuals" adore for his commitment to indoc... err.. education, this could be of interest. It could be especially interesting to those in Republican circles who (correctly, in my opinion) made a big deal out of Barack Obama's association with Ayers.

President Obama appointed Ms. Pritzker to the President's Council
for Jobs and Competitiveness which advises the Administration on
economic growth and job creation. Ms. Pritzker previously served on the
President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. She was National
Co-chair of Obama for America 2012 and was National Finance Chair of the
2008 Barack Obama for President Campaign.

In addition to her service to "The One," Penny Pritzker serves as a prime example of the one-percenter, fat-cat hypocrisy of Barack Obama. One might think President Obama gets really steaming mad when those nasty banks take advantage of the proletariat with predatory, sub-prime loans. Well he does in front of the right audience, but Pritzker would appear to be exactly the type of predator the reader of TOTUS would abhor. From Lynn Sweet's blog at the Sun Times:

"Part of the reason we got a current mortgage
crisis has to do with the fact that people got suckered in to loans
that they could not pay," he told a crowd in Reading, Pa., last week.
"There were a lot of predatory loans that were given out, a lot of
teaser rates. Banks and financial institutions making these loans were
making money hand over fist."

At the helm of Superior Bank was Obama's national finance chairwoman, Penny Pritzker, an heiress to the Pritzker fortune.

One of the banks that went
under after making a lot of subprime loans -- leaving 1,400 of its
customers without part of their savings -- was Chicago's Superior Bank.

At the helm of Superior Bank at least some of the time was Obama's
national finance chairwoman, Penny Pritzker, an heiress to the Pritzker
fortune.

Obama's campaign notes that Pritzker stepped down as chairwoman of
the bank's board in 1994, seven years before it failed. She then went on
the board of the bank's holding company.

But a letter obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times shows that until the
end, Pritzker appeared to be taking a leadership role in trying to
revive the bank with an expanded push into subprime loans.

Wasn't that fun? I am not implying that Rauner approves of the Weather Underground (especially not in the way the libtard Hollywood types adore them), but I do think the associations of these elitists are interesting. They must be a close group, as many of them seem to sit on multiple boards together. Who ever said money cannot buy influence and political power?

Rauner, Pritzker, and the dead fish ballerina can't be all bad. They have ruffled the feathers of another "intellectual" progressive buddy of Ayers and Dohrn, Mike Klonsky (information on the commie "educator" can be found here in Andrew McCarthy's National Review piece). Hippy, commie Klonsky takes issue with the trio and their education reform cohorts here. So, it is probably reasonable for Illinois Republicans to support Bruce Rauner for Governor. It would likely seem odd if they were to support Rahm Emanuel outright and apparently Mayor of Chicago is more prestigious than Governor of Illinois or Emanuel would run, himself. That is unless he believes he is better off putting a Republican up against Lisa Madigan.

This is not intended to paint the entire generation that followed the "Greatest Generation" with the same red brush. There are certainly patriotic citizens and those who cherish the liberty our founders established among the offspring of the generation who fought World War II. I am related by blood and by marriage to such patriotic children of the "Greatest Generation".

This is about the groovy hippies who never grew out of that phase. This is about the "peace" and "love" types like Bill Ayers who likely mentored Barack Obama more than he would ever admit to the voting public. This is about those who were born in the forties and went from the university to law school to Congress and soaked up all the Marxist ideology they could along the way. This is about those who went from hippy to Congressional intestinal worm and have infested the Capitol for decades. This is about the likes of George Miller (Dimocrat CA-7), who has been in the House since he was twenty-nine years old in 1974. Thank God all of California isn't the same as San Francisco (of course I thank God all of Illinois isn't the same as Chicago too). It is too bad California doesn't have more representatives like the elder and younger Duncan Hunter!

Upfront disclaimer for the whiny know-it-all: Perhaps Barack Obama and The Washington Obamost'sJuliet Eilperin are not from warring families and are not in love (although I am not convinced fair Juliet does not dream of what it might be like to replace RuPaul as First Lady). Therefore, if your delicate intellectual sensibilities are offended by the reference to "Romeo and Juliet"... tough.

Obameo and Juliet, it is safe to say, share a lust for the diminishing of American industry and a desire for cost increases to be borne by American consumers in the name of anthropogenic global warming, er ... I mean climate change (Newspeak for the effects the sun on our planet and how Statists can capitalize on the sun's effects to grow their own power). The motives of these two kindred spirits might be different, however.

Juliet may indeed be primarily driven by the passion of the enviro-nut. She may have been denied adequate hugs as a child and now she seeks to compensate by embracing the trees. She may indeed believe she is using her "journalism" to further the noble goal of saving the planet from the evil polluter/employer. Poor Juliet struggles to rid the world of carbon dioxide (which she refuses to stop exhaling) and must be torn by the knowledge that the war she is waging is to eliminate the basic need of the object of her hugs. She surely dies a little inside every time she sees her written assualts on the food processor of those very same trees, printed on paper... unless she does not know which natural resource provides her with a medium.

While the state that Barack Obama chose as a stepping stone for his political ascendency (I can't help but wonder if he followed his buddy/ghost writer/unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers to Chicago from Columbia U) attempts to cope with its liberal induced fiscal mess and the heartburn of the election season, Barackobama.com maintains its assault on liberty. The continuation of "Big Brother" Barry's campaign, which shall be known here as Organizing Against America (or Organizing for Astroturf) will not let up in its quest. The "change" as given an opportunity by 52.7% of 2008 voters (or the Feckless Fifty-Two) has a limited window, unless the same group of voters can be duped again.

The Alinsky inspired campaign organization must strike and strike... and strike again, lest the opportunity is lost. The radical administration and its cretin counterparts in Congress are attempting to take advantage of the bad times facing many citizens. People are concerned about the financial future of their families and the governing bodies roll out liberty squelching plan after wealth redistributing act. In addition to the mind-numbing frequency of intrusions being made or planned by the federal government, many citizens are distracted by strife related to the mid-term elections. For example, here in Illinois we are being told that only a RINO like Mark Kirk can stand a chance against the admitted Democrat nominee (Giannoulias or a long-shot) in the race to replace Roland Burris. In other words, the Illinois "moderate" hacks and the NRSC money men believe repeating McCain's 2008 presidential campaign model is the way forward for the citizens of Illinois.

The appetite of the federal government is indeed insatiable! Nationalizing Government Motors and perhaps Citigroup is not enough to calm the beast. I assumed that nationalization of some of the major newspapers might be the next step in "Big Brother" Barry's quest for complete control, after all they are generally supporters of his and we have seen that he will allow nothing to stand in the way of paying off supporters... see UAW.

Like a machete wielding psychopath, Barack Obama and his disciples have been slashing at the fabric of our liberty in any and every way that pops into their Marxist minds. Here are a couple of examples:

04/15/2009

Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers must be grinning pierced ear to pierced ear if he has read the DHS report on "Rightwing Extremism." The guilty as hell, free as a bird" buddy of Barack must know the fruit of his and his contemporaries' educational efforts are ripening on the vine.... at a pace that should alarm normal Americans.

The Obama DHS has apparently turned into yet another arm of the Barack Obama never-ending campaign. Of course this arm wields a great deal of power and is flexing its muscle. The targets of intimidation would be surprising in a sane society. What makes a potential "rightwing extremist" terrorist? Not a fine, upstanding pentagon bomber like Barack's buddy Bill, but:

Veterans who have served their country.

People who value innocent life.

People who value federalism.

People who respect our borders.

Notice how the libs' disdain for our military shines through as they identify returning military members as potential recruits for these "rightwing extremist" groups.

Naturally the propaganda includes several references to the racism that anyone who has disdain for Obambi must harbor. This excuse for a security agency apparently can't imagine that some of "Big Brother" Barry's detractors might actually value their liberty and the limited government as defined by the Constitution. Apparently the love of this nation and liberty is cause for concern.

If you believe in state's rights, you are a rabid rightwing bastard!

If you object to the brutal dismembering of an unborn child, you are a rightwing zealot!

If you believe that those here illegally are "illegal," you are a rightwing potential terrorist!

If you are a veteran, you are putty in the hands of rightwing extremists!

If you object to any of Obama's agenda, you are a dangerous rightwing racist!

If you are an unrepentant domestic terrorist, you are the salt of the liberal earth and are free to indoctrinate as many young people as possible. It doesn't hurt if the President of the United States of America got his political career started by kissing your ring at a fundraiser in your home. I wonder if DHS will entertain adopting The Weather Underground's plans for re-education camps for offending people of character... or as the report calls them, "rightwing extremists."

We are days away from a historic presidential inauguration, at least that is what we are told in pulsating liberal media reports that seem to be building to the ultimate climax of Obamasm. I would say that the upcoming nightmare is indeed historic, but only because it is the inauguration of an unbelievably bad candidate that should have never stood a chance to win election to high office. While media blowhards like MSNBC's Chris Matthews are "tingling" with pleasure (I wonder if his "tingle" is related to his spittle stream), conscientious Americans who paid attention during the campaign are left to wonder what the FFT (Feckless Fifty Two percent) could have possibly been thinking. If, that is, they had been thinking at all.

I suppose the benefit of the doubt can be given to a portion of the FFT. Certainly some just did not care to look beyond the fabricated image presented by Obama's media fan club. This portion of of the FFT allows itself to be (mis)led around by the nose. This group will have unwittingly earned the unfortunate results of its electoral folly.

"What if" pondering:

I wonder what could have been if "Big Brother" Barry had not been effectively running unopposed in the general election. "What ifs" serve no purpose other than the necessary reminder of the tragic chain of events that culminated in what could be a catastrophe (at least for liberty.) What if Mike Huckabee, Charlie Crist, the RNC, and the ridiculous primary system hadn't come together to ensure an Obama victory by allowing a John McCain nomination? Even worse, Obama was such a bad candidate that even John McCain stood a chance until the (convenient for Dems) economic crash occurred.

If "Big Brother" Barry has a mandate, it is courtesy of the portion of the FFT that did pay attention and knew what they were imposing upon this nation. They have spoken and their message is:

Innocent life does not matter. Social justice is required for artificial victim groups not babies, which according to Barack "Born Alive, Let Them Die" Obama are punishment!

"Spreading the wealth around" as applied by wealthy liberals using our money is perfectly acceptable.

A president need not have ever done anything other than run for office in order to be qualified... unless registering people to vote Democrat and writing multiple memoirs count as relevant experience. (I wonder if "Magnificent Me" is in the works or if it will be withheld until his two or more terms are up.)

We want a president who believes The Constitution has a "blind spot" which he can take upon himself to fill with socialist programs and wealth redistribution.

"We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world's energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we'll be fine. Don't worry about us. That's not leadership."

We were inspired by candidate Obama's rare senate action of introducing his "Global Poverty Act" and even more inspired that he is willing to spread our wealth around the globe (....but won't help his own poor relatives out of his own pocket.)

Yes, the electorate has spoken and this Tuesday a nation begins to pay for their expression of insanity.

This holiday season may truly be a season of miracles. First, voters of Louisiana finally dumped Rep. William "Cold Cash" Jefferson and by doing so, helped Nancy Bela Pelosi in her 2006 campaign promise to "drain the swamp" on Capital Hill. Better late than never! Then, early this morning in Chicago, the unimaginable happened... Illinois Governor Rod "Hair Helmet" aka "GRT is good for me" Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges.

Has the official bus driver for the Office of the President Elect been notified that his services may be needed ? This situation is just screaming for his services. After all, what does "Big Brother" Barry do when one of his friends, associates, or cronies draws too much negative publicity? Note that I refer to negative publicity that not even his unpaid staff in the media can suppress as they largely did with regards to Bill "guilty as Hell, free as a bird" Ayers. I am mean the Reverend "Naw! Naw! Naw! Not God bless America! God damn America!" Wright or Tony Rezko type publicity. That's right, warm up the bus, it's time to throw a crony under it!

Will we soon have the privilege of seeing the holder of the fictional Office of the President Elect standing at his little podium with its ridiculous sign, as he claims "Ya ow, this isn't the Rod Blagojevich I thought I used to ya ow, I mean know." I don't see how this scenario can be avoided given Obama's propensity to claim no knowledge of the people he knew and the fact that his favors were to some degree being sought by this honor student of the Chicago Crime/Politics Institute of Lower Learning. I wonder if Obama and Ayers ever did any education reform with this particular institution?

There is a great deal to digest regarding Gov. Hair Helmet's little legal pickle, but here are a few random thoughts.

Why wouldn't Blago believe he could sell Obama's senate seat, especially after Obama had just bought the presidency?

What about "Big Brother" Barry's character and/or history gave Blago the confidence that he could get a sweet appointment in exchange for an Obama-favored pick?

Are members of the FFT (Feckless Fifty Two percent) still saying good things about Obama's "judgment?"

Will this overdue event shed light on the Chicago -style politics that have harmed this state and the nation by producing the current occupant of the fictional yet important-sounding Elliptical Office?

Those of you who are dumb enough to believe in the greatness of St. Barack The Divider and his not to be called Marxist, Socialist plans, might be worried about poor little Rod. Don't worry, his lawyer says he isn't guilty. I know, shocking, isn't it?

CHICAGO— The attorney for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said the governor will be vindicated and he has no plans to resign.

"He didn't do anything wrong," attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters after Blagojevich was arraigned. "A lot of this is just politics."

Blagojevich should be in the office Wednesday, Sorosky added.

So, reporters asked, he does not intend to resign?

"Not that I know of, no," said Sorosky, who added that the governor was "surprised" by the day's events.

I was concerned for a very brief moment that Gov. Hair Helmet might do the right thing and resign. Then I recalled that Hair Helmet (like Obama) is a Chicago Democrat and therefore there should be no consideration of him doing the right thing.

Tis the season to be jolly and downtrodden Illinois residents now have an added reason to enjoy the season! I wonder if Blago will have access to his hairdresser if he goes to prison?

If there is a silver lining for the citizens of Illinois in the wake of the national tragedy that struck on November 4, 2008, it is that (temporarily) we no longer have two despicable excuses for United States Senators. I realize that our governor will do his best (what normal people would refer to as worst) to replace Grand Chancellor Elect Barack "Born Alive, Let Them Die" Obama with someone who will rival Detestable Dick Durbin in libiot legislative carnage, but for now I choose to look at the bright side.

Illinois no longer has a senator that began his political climb by kissing the ring of domestic terrorist William Ayers, who coincidentally is having his book re-released. Isn't it sweet that in addition to having access to the minds of the students whose parents send to U of I Chicago, this festering sore on the face of humanity is going to profit from the election of Obama. Is that what they mean by historic, for the first time in our history a presidential election serves as a relaunch for the memoirs of a terrorist? Is it safe to assume that even though Barack Obama will be the main selling point for new copies of the terrorist's narcissistic writings, that he will not receive a share of the royalties? Perhaps in the name of spreading the wealth around, Obama's rightful share can be donated to ACORN for the purposes of corpse registering.

We are now free to move beyond the embarrassment of having elected Barack Obama as our senator. Unfortunately, Illinois' gain is the nation's loss. I wonder if Tony Rezko can get a hold of any property adjacent to The White House in case the Obama's want to increase the size of their new yard. Can one purchase property while in prison or would "Big Brother" Barry have to pardon Rezko in order to get the good deal?

As I have written previously, we in Illinois can also hope that the Grand Chancellor Elect will help clean up our state. Again, this clean up would be only temporary (four or God forbid, eight years) and come at great cost to the nation as a whole. This particular clean up would involve draining the cesspool that spawns Illinois (Chicago) Democrat politicians and transplanting them in Washington D.C. If this is to happen, perhaps he can drain Madison County's cesspool as well. Can we hope that Governor Blagojevich is refraining from appointing himself as Obama's successor in order to make himself available for a cabinet position? It would be a bad deal for The United States of America... but Illinois would be rid of another embarrassment.

The Obama's will have to find a church in the D.C. area to attend, at least for the next four years since after the 2012 election he can drop what I believe is a pretense of faith for the purpose of political gain. The Grand Chancellor Elect is fortunate that he will only have four years in his new church so if the pastor spews the same sort of hate as his former pastor, his denials of having ever heard any of it will be more plausible. After all, four years of attending a church and not hearing the sermons is more believable than twenty plus years of the same, is it not? We can hope his new pastor will not utter the words, "God damn America!"

It is a beautiful, cool Autumn day here in Southern Illinois. It is the kind of day that is conducive to feeling good and optimistic. I am trying to take advantage of the nice day to briefly reflect on the type of U.S. Senator that should replace Grand Chancellor Elect Obama. CNNPolitics.com has a piece that at least partially displays the model I would prefer Governor Blagojevich follow when making his upcoming decision.

MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (CNN) – South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint on Friday became one of the first high-profile Republicans to publicly criticize John McCain following his electoral defeat, blaming the Arizona senator for betraying conservative principles in his quest for the White House.

The conservative senator, speaking to a group of GOP officials gathered in Myrtle Beach at a conference on the future of the Republican Party, described how the party had strayed from its own "brand," which, according to DeMint, should represent freedom, religious-based values and limited government.

"We have to be honest, and there's a lot of blame to go around, but I have to mention George Bush, and I have to mention Ted Stevens, and I'm afraid I even have to mention John McCain," he said.

DeMint offered a long list of complaints about McCain's record in the Senate and on the campaign trail.

I realize how unlikely it is that Gov. Rod Blagojevich would extract his head from it's dark and foul smelling normal resting place and appoint someone like Jim DeMint to the Senate. As I stated previously, it is the kind of day that is conducive to dreaming and didn't Obama, himself campaign on "hope?" Perhaps a political miracle will be performed and our governor will do the right thing for once. In the spirit of hope and dreams I offer the following as a suggestion for the governor's consideration:

11/07/2008

Is there an Office of the President Elect? Mike Church was talking about Change.gov and The Chosen One's apparent office creation this morning on his wonderful radio show on Sirius Patriot 144. If there is an Office of the President Elect, is it possible that he could just stay there and spare our nation four to eight years of Hell? A quick note about Change.gov, it is a good idea to visit it if you ingest poison and need to induce vomiting. It looks like the Obamoron web people spritzed up Barack Obama's campaign web-site and tried to give it an official-sounding name.

Today "Big Brother" stood behind a podium adorned with a sign that actually read, "The Office of the President Elect!"

The arrogance of this man is only exceeded by the rabid adoration of his mentally ill supporters (or is that redundant?) Will he wait until his second inauguration to change the name of his office to something more catchy like "Grand Chancellor of the U.S.S.A." out of fear that there are still enough sane voters that even his private media outlets couldn't get him re-elected if he changed the name too soon? Certainly "President of the U.S.A." is too common for the man who exceeds all that has ever been... at least in his own estimation.

Now to examine some positive effects of this tragic election. At least two Senate seats currently held by libiots will be vacated. While it is true that the governors of Delaware and my own unfortunate state, Illinois will replace the Grand Chancellor Elect and Vice Grand Poobah Elect with two more libiots, at least our two states will have each have one less libiot hanging around and ruining things on a local level for the next two years. (In case you haven't noticed, optimism is my specialty.)

I caught a few minutes of The Grand Chancellor Elect's fan club Q & A this afternoon and FOX News had a caption that read something along the lines of, "Obama seeks a capable replacement in The Senate." I found it quite refreshing that Barack Obama cares enough about Illinois to request an upgrade in our offerings to The Senate. From cbs2chicago.com:

"This is the governor's descision (sic), it is not my deicsion (sic), and I think the criteria I would have for my successor would be the same criteria I would have as a voter," Obama said, citing passion and a commitment to the working families of Illinois as among the most important qualities.

Obama has "a passion and commitment to the working families of Illinois?" That's a relief, I thought the only reason he decided to go to Chicago to begin his political career is that he followed domestic terrorist and potential Secretary of Education, William Ayers there from Columbia University! Perhaps he has "a passion and commitment to" eliminating employment opportunities for "the working families of Illinois" in order to create the dependence required for his desired level of totalitarian control.

Since I've been following politics, Illinois hasn't sent a capable person to The Senate, but hey, why not start now? Dick Durbin was just re-elected so a capable replacement for Barack Obama would give us in Illinois a grand total of one capable senator. Lets not kid ourselves, Barack Obama was never really a U.S. Senator, he used his seat strictly as a stepping stone to the Grand Chancellorship.

There is also the possibility that Grand Chancellor Elect Obama will raid Chicago's corruption... I mean political machine for staff and cabinet appointments. He already tapped Scum Emanuel to be Chief of Staff (or mob enforcer.) We can hope, as citizens of Illinois, that he will make our state a temporarily reasonable state by moving some of our worst liabilities to Washington D.C. Of course the entire nation stands to suffer at the hands of this man and his Chicago machine cronies, but I am looking for any positive thread here. If he takes Ayers and Dorhn with him, that will be two fewer terrorists in Illinois!

If I could make a plea to Grand Chancellor Elect Obama, it would be to find some post for Governor Rod "Hair Helmet" Blagojevich. If we could be rid of this excuse for a governor, that would indeed be "change we could believe in!"
